With our confession in mind, Southeastern’s faculty attempts to develop five Core Competencies in students through a Southeastern education. Every student should seek to develop in…

Spiritual Formation Demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue an authentically Christian way of life, manifested by trust in God, obedience to Christ’s commands, and love of God and neighbor.

Biblical Exposition Demonstrate the ability to properly and effectively interpret, apply, and communicate the Scriptures.

Theological Integration Demonstrate the ability to understand and apply the doctrines of Christianity to life and ministry.

Ministry Preparation Demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and Christian disposition necessary for ministry and leadership in the church and the world.

We strive to do all of this while cultivating in students a delight in God, His Word, and His Church.
